Exterior Lighting System

EXTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM
The Instrument Cluster monitors the Headlamp Switch and Multifunctions Switch on its MUX line. The Instrument Cluster sends a PCI bus message to the Front Control Module (FCM) to actuate the Headlamps ON when the ignition switch is ON and when an open or short failure occurs on the head-lamps switch input circuit to the instrument cluster. If the exterior lamps are left ON and the ignition switch OFF for more than 5 minutes, the FCM will turn the exterior lamps off. This feature prevents the battery from being discharged when the Exterior Lamps have been left ON.
